Hey guys, been in and out of the Model Rocketry scene for a few years. I built my own launch pad a couple years ago and I wanted to build a launch control box to go with it. I'm not launching anything crazy (LPR and maybe in the future MPR) but I kinda want to build something to say, hey, I built it myself!
I've got an idea for how it might look. I'm an engineer (student) but not an electrician. I may need some help on the schematics to get this up and running, or maybe someone to tell me just to buy a GO-Box. Anyway, here's the idea. When the 12V battery is connected, a POWER LED lights up. Arming the device will be accomplished by flipping a safety toggle switch. This will light up an ARMED LED, which also serves as the continuity light. To launch, a simple push button would be used.
What do you guys think? Thanks in advance for any help, this is a really great forum for rocketry!!!
